Interests away from cycling – I do enjoy spending time with friends. Its nice to socialise off the bike with good mates. This could be doing simple things such as going to the cinema, enjoying good food at nice restaurants or a good game of bowling.

Favourite Film – The first Inbetweeners film is a favourite of mine, however I’ve just recently watched Hacksaw Ridge, which is definently a very different film to the Inbetweeners, but is up there as one of my favourites as well.

Favourite Race – 2016 was my first full season on the bike and I raced more of the Premier Calender races. My favourite race was the Grand Prix of Wales. This is not a race which suited me the most, and I didn’t make it round the full race distance, however this was a race where I really suffered and learnt how to ride in the convoys to rejoin the peloton. Looking back at this race, making myself suffer and riding as hard as I could on the climbs and in the convoys to stay in the race was actually enjoyable.

Earliest Cycling Memory – My earliest cycling memory is riding on BMX’s with friends around the local park. We had a small plastic jump which we thought we might be able to jump off and get a Guinness world record for the furthest distance jumped off a 1ft high jump.
